Fresh from winning 3 national programming awards, local station Ballyhoura Community Radio is once again excelling on the airwaves with Ní Neart go Cur le Chéile.
Ní Neart go Cur le Chéile is an 8 part series of Irish language magazine-style programmes, which was made possible thanks to the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland's Sound and Vision fund. Each hour-long show was produced by a different community radio station using mini-features produced by a total of 18 community radio stations, nationwide.
Ballyhoura Community Radio was one of the six radio stations selected nationwide to host an anchor programme for this exciting national, community radio programming project.
Ballyhoura Community Radio volunteer and native Irish speaker, Philip O’Connell, was privileged to be offered the opportunity to host one of the anchor programmes.
Philip O' Connell also produced a segment for the series documenting the childhood memories of local nun Sr. Perpetua who grew up in the Gaelthacht in Donegal. Another segment was produced by volunteer Joanne Ryan about the Irish talking circle that meets weekly to encourage Irish speaking in the Charleville area. Joanne can currently been seen playing temptress 'Grace' on the Irish soap opera 'Ros na Rún'.
Ní Neart go Cur le Chéile will run 6.30-7.30pm on the first Sunday of every month on Ballyhoura Community Radio 92.6fm starting on this Sunday, February 5th.
